Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

Dongfang Haoyang looked at Rongrong, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time by the Bitter Love Tree. Rongrong smiled, opened her emerald green eyes, scratched her cheek slightly, and walked over with a little guilt in her heart.

"Good morning, Miss Rongrong."

"Hmph, young master did quite a feat last night, hehe."

With a mischievous smile on her face, Tu Shan Rongrong put her hands behind her back and brought her incredibly cute face close to Dongfang Haoyang.

In Haoyang's eyes, Rongrong's adorable face was reflected in the mirror. The girl had two symmetrical marks on her chin, and her emerald green eyes were full of laughter, with a hint of slyness.

As soon as she finished speaking, she placed her hands on the light blue hem of her dress in front of her. The pale yellow dress swayed slightly in the wind, giving the fox a delicate and refined air.

Very cute.

Rongrong was standing a little too close. Haoyang could feel her hot breath and smell the familiar sweet scent of lilacs that was unique to her.

Taking a slight step back, Haoyang scratched his slightly reddened cheek.

"Miss Rongrong, you already know..."

Haoyang was referring to how he changed the landscape of Tushan with a single palm strike, and it seemed the compensation for damaging Tushan's environment would be quite a lot of money...

But Rongrong didn't answer. She just took a step forward, put her hands behind her back, and moved closer to him until his exceptionally handsome face was right in front of her. Rongrong smiled faintly and gently cupped the boy's blushing cheeks in her hands.

"Thank you……"

In Haoyang's eyes, Rongrong's emerald green eyes were filled with tenderness, and her sincere and happy smile stirred ripples in the young man's heart.

"Ugh, damn it!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya crossed her arms and glanced at the scene, pouting and feeling inexplicably annoyed. Then she punched Dongfang Yue, who was eating candied hawthorns, with a loud bang, giving Xiao Yue a big, smoking red bump on her head!

"Ouch! Ya Ya, what are you doing?!"

"I'm angry! I'll take it out on you!"

Dongfang Yuechu was completely stunned. What the hell was going on? My brother is a womanizer, sister-in-law, why aren't you hitting him, why are you hitting me?! I'm completely innocent!

But before Dongfang Yuechu could run away, Tushan Yaya grabbed two of his ahoge (cowlicks) and then pinned him to the ground, giving him a good beating!

"Brother! Help! Ahhhhh!"

However, Dongfang Haoyang ignored him, because Tu Shan Rongrong had already set up a restriction around the Bitter Love Tree when she arrived, and the sound was already blocked by the restriction. This time, no one could disturb her and Young Master Haoyang.

"Miss Rongrong, what's wrong...?"

Haoyang gently took Rongrong's small hand that was holding his cheek, his eyes filled with emotion.

Should I close my eyes now? Why do I keep feeling like these two little fox demons have been forcing themselves on me these past few days…?

Rongrong chuckled, loosened her hands, and stuck out her little tongue behind her back.

"Young master blushes so easily."

"..."

So, is this little fox demon trying to seduce me...?

You're playing with fire, Miss Rongrong.

"Miss Rongrong, my current identity is your childhood sweetheart, so..."

With a confident smile, Dongfang Haoyang strode closer to Rongrong. As a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm, how could he let this little fox demon push him away?

He placed one hand on the trunk of the Bitter Love Tree, and Haoyang looked into Rongrong's emerald green eyes, then pinned her against the tree.

"Oh dear, young master, what do you mean by this?"

"Hmph, Miss Rongrong... could the reparations from the Tushan region be reduced a bit...?"

"Oh, that won't do. Even though you are Rongrong's childhood sweetheart, you still have to obediently pay the compensation."

Tu Shan Rongrong chuckled, waving her slender, fair fingers as she pulled a compensation contract from her bosom.

"A total of fifty-three thousand taels of silver!"

"This... I don't have that much money..."

If he had that much money, would he still be forced to go to Tushan because of a debt of tens of thousands of taels at the beginning of the month...?

Using power to do unjust things and take ill-gotten gains is something Dongfang Haoyang would never do, even if it meant death. As he always said, he would never take a single needle or thread from the masses!

Moreover, that would violate his Dao, at least on a moral level, although it would have absolutely no negative impact, since his Dao had been processed by the Life-Saving System.

As the saying goes, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality, and there are absolutely no side effects.

"It's okay, our contract includes a compound interest clause and a usury clause, so your money can double in just one day!"

Tu Shan Rongrong chuckled as she spoke, and gave a thumbs up!

Dongfang Haoyang's lips twitched violently, and he froze completely...

"Miss Rongrong, are you perhaps joking with me?"

"Of course not, hehe, young master, you must carefully read every clause when signing contracts in the future~"

He rubbed his forehead, speechless. He thought of the contract Rongrong was holding, which was over ten pages long and contained thousands of clauses. It was simply impossible to read it all at once...

"I... really can't repay..."

"Hehe, Rongrong knows."

"Miss Rongrong, is there something you want me to do to pay off the debt?" Dongfang Haoyang tilted his head in confusion.

Tu Shan Rongrong folded her hands in front of her, her smile growing even brighter, and gently shook her head.

She never intended for Haoyang to repay those funds, so she had already secretly used her own money to cover the huge hole in the Tushan environmental protection fees.

She only said these things because of her little mischievous thoughts. After all, her wooden childhood sweetheart was about to go into seclusion, and she couldn't help but feel itchy if she didn't tease him a little.

"This time, Young Master upheld justice for my sister and me, and killed that wicked old Taoist priest. Rongrong is truly grateful to Young Master from the bottom of her heart..."

"But I have no intention of repaying..."

"So, can Rongrong take on those debts for you, young master?"

Dongfang Haoyang was slightly taken aback, as he himself didn't care much about money.

After all, if my neighbor hoards grain, I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary. If I can't reason with them, can't I at least talk about the truth?

After all, in this world, might makes right. Ultimately, in this world as well, whoever is stronger has the right to speak.

Just like the Third Young Master and Six Ears in the heavens, of course, he prefers to reason things out if they can be resolved through reason.

After all, a world without order and law is chaotic, and human life is less valuable than grass in such a world, let alone fairness and justice.

"Is it about the Demon Extermination Sect incident...?"

Having searched the old bastard's soul, Haoyang naturally learned about the incident: Rongrong and Honghong were captured and tortured by that Taoist priest, and were almost sold to the Heavenly Immortal Academy.

And there's the little Taoist priest who was accidentally killed by Honghong...

Rongrong regretted not focusing on learning healing techniques, which prevented her from helping Sister Honghong save their benefactor...

Each and every one of them represents a regret that can never be undone, just like what happened to Ya Ya at Daoxiang Village, except that Ya Ya had her own side that time...

But when Rongrong and Honghong were there, no one could help them...

That incident must have been a childhood trauma for Miss Rongrong...

Tick, tick.

Tu Shan Rongrong looked at the guilty expression on Dongfang Haoyang's face, her green eyes reddened slightly, and although her expression was still Wei Xia's, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hehe, what's wrong, young master? You've done enough. You've avenged my sister and Rongrong..."

Rongrong kept shedding hot tears, her teeth chattered, and her voice gradually began to sob.

Although she said that, she could never forget that incident.

"It's alright now, Miss Rongrong, it's... alright... If you want to cry, just cry it out..."

It seems that burning him alive was too lenient on that old bastard. I should have had him sliced ​​to death dozens of times and torn apart by five horses...

Dongfang Haoyang watched as Rongrong kept wiping away her tears and tried her best to maintain a smile.

He gently pressed her little head into his arms, hugged her body, and patted her back softly.

When Dongfang Yuechu cried as a child, Haoyang would comfort him in this way, and it worked very quickly.

Rongrong was slightly taken aback, her eyes widening, and then the tears in her emerald eyes could no longer be held back and kept falling.

The sobs grew louder and louder; the little fox demon nestled in Haoyang's arms, gradually becoming a heartbroken mess.

A dozen minutes later, when he heard Rongrong's sobbing gradually stop, Dongfang Haoyang smiled and wiped away the tears on her face.

Yu Qing felt guilty towards her sister. Unable to let go of this guilt, she had endured so many years of solitary sorrow in Tushan. Now that she was her sister's childhood sweetheart, she felt it was only right to take care of her.

He had promised the fortune teller that he would take care of Rongrong for the rest of his life.

"It's alright, Rongrong, everything will be alright..."

"But young master... my sister can't go."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Haoyang pondered for a moment, then sighed.

"That depends on whether he has any ideas at the beginning of the month..."

After all, this brat is Honghong's number one simp. If he can't get past this hurdle, he shouldn't even mention marrying her fairy sister anymore...
